Summary

Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton called on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to resign following a tense White House meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky that ended abruptly.

The February 28 meeting, meant to discuss a ceasefire deal, devolved into an argument when Zelensky expressed skepticism about Putin honoring any agreement.

Bolton told MSNBC that officials should resign when leaders pivot “from understanding American allies to backing America’s adversaries.”

After the meeting, Trump dismissed Zelensky as “not ready for Peace,” while Rubio criticized the Ukrainian president and defended Trump.

    Sure, but John Bolton can fuck right off as well.

    Go write another article about how we should nuke Iran, dipshit.

    So glad that fuck doesn’t have any influence anymore.

      He was actually more of a “no” man. And to Bolton’s ideas, Trump was a “no” man to him. If I recall correctly, Bolton was pushing for Trump to bomb Iran and Trump (rightly) refused. They did not particularly care for each other.

      Bolton is a war mongering whacko but he is correct here. That meeting was a disgrace.

      If there’s a person who knows from experience, who should also know that they’ll ignore him.

      He’s trying to clean his reputation.

        No, Bolton doesn’t see anything wrong with being a viscous warmongering bastard. He wouldn’t consider his reputation as needing cleaned. He’d argue for the US to put boots on the ground in Ukraine and annex it with indirect rule. His type is the ones that Russia uses as boogymen to justify their imperialism as “fear of NATO.”

          You probably meant to type vicious, but viscous is also perfect. He’s both ruthless and slimy.

          …he can know other people have a problem with being a warmongering bastard.

      It makes sense though. Bolton is interested in further enriching US arms manufacturers by prolonging the proxy war. If Trump formally allies with Putin, the fighting will end relatively quickly and thus stops the gravy train.

      “Why should I change my name? He’s the one that sucks.”

    Bolton told MSNBC that officials should resign when leaders pivot “from understanding prior American allies to backing the current America~~'s~~n administration’s adversaries allies.”

    Fixed it?
